The struggle of colonized people the world over is integrally connected to the defense of water.

My followers who are settlers on Turtle Island may be familiar with the English translation of the Lakota saying "mní wičóni" -- "water is life." This declaration of the centrality of water to all of existence on this planet has been used for a long time, but became known widely outside of Lakota communities as a political slogan following the direct action by water protectors against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Right now First Nations activists are struggling against the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline as the "Build Canada Act" proceeds. Descendants from many colonized African nations who were abducted into chattel slavery in the United States are subject to the destruction of their access to clean water repeatedly, with one infamous example being the water crisis in Flint Michigan.

When we discuss the genocide of Palestinians by Israel and the United States, we must always remember that control over water is central to settler-colonial projects.

Some days in late August at home are like this, the air thin and eager like this, with something in it sad and nostalgic and familiar.
